Éru – as opposed to “lord”, Quenya heru

Yestasse

Genesis
[Note: The English back-translation uses the special spelling “Lórd” (with ó) where this represents the divine name YHWH, in Quenya Héru – as opposed to “lord”, Quenya heru, for secular use of the title, translating the actual Hebrew word for lord.]

CHAPTER 1

In the beginning God created heaven and earth. 2 But earth was empty and void, and [there] was darkness over the abyss, but God's spirit was flying over the waters.

3 And God said: “Let [there] be light!” And [there] was light. 4 And God saw that the light was [Q: is] good, and God split the light from the darkness. 5 And God named the light Day, but the darkness he named Night. And [there] was evening, and [there] was morning, a first day.

6 And God said: “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and it will split waters from waters!” 7 And God made the firmament, and he split the waters that were under the firmament from the waters that were over the firmament, and [it] was so. 8 And God named the firmament Heaven. And [there] was evening, and [there] was morning, a second day.
9 Ar eque Eru: “I neni nu menel na ocomuvar erya nómesse, ar i parca nór na cénima!” Ar enge sie. 10 Ar Eru estane i parca nór Cemen, mal i ocómienwe neni estanes Ear. Ar Eru cenne i ta mára ná.

Ar Eru cenne i ta mára ná. 13 Ar enge şinye, ar enge arin, nelya ré.
9 And God said: “[Let] the waters under heaven gather in a single place, and [let] the dry land be visible!” And [it] was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth, but the waters having gathered he called Sea. And God saw that that was [Q: is] good.

11 And God said: “Let the earth bear grass, plants making seeds, fruit trees producing fruit within their kinds, on earth.” And [it] was so. 12 Earth bore grass, plants making seeds, within their kinds, and trees producing fruit in which their seeds are, within their kinds. And God saw that that was [Q: is] good. 13 And [there] was evening, and [there] was morning, a third day.
14 Ar eque Eru: “Calmar na euvar menelo tellumasse, hyarien aure lómello, ar nauvalte tanwar aşarion ar ríon ar coranárion! 15 Nauvalte calmar to menelo telluma, caltien cemenna!” Ar enge sie. 16 Eru carne i hoa calma atta – i anhoa calma turien auresse ar i ambe pitya calma turien lómisse – ar i eleni. 17 Ar Eru panyane tai to menelo telluma caltien cemenna 18 ar turien auresse ar lómisse ar hyarien cala morniello.

14 And God said: “Let there be lamps on the firmament of heaven, to split day from night, and they will be signs of seasons [or, festivals] and of days and of years! 15 They will be lamps on the firmament of heaven, to shine upon earth!” And [it] was so. 16 God made the two great lights – the greatest light for ruling at day and the smaller light for ruling at night – and the stars. 17 And God put them on the firmament of heaven to shine upon earth 18 and for ruling at day and at night and for splitting light from darkness. And God saw that that was [Q: is] good. 19 And [there] was evening, and [there] was morning, a fourth day.

20 And God said: “The waters be swarming with swarms of living creatures, and [let] birds fly over earth on the firmament of heaven!” 21 And God created the great monsters of [the] sea, and all living creatures that make the waters swarming and move in them, and all winged birds within their kinds. And God saw that that was [Q: is] good. 22 And God blessed them, saying: “Be fruitful and become numerous, and fill the waters in the seas, and [let] the birds become numerous on earth.” 23 And [there] was evening, and [there] was morning, a fifth day.
24 Ar eque Eru: “Cemen na coluva cuine onnar mi nostaleltar, lamni ar hlicila onnar ar cemeo hravani, mi nostaleltar.” 25 Ar Eru carne cemeno hravani mi nostaleltar, ar i lamni mi nostaleltar ar ilye onnar i hlicir cemende mi nostaleltar. Ar Eru cenne i ta mára ná.
24 And God said: “Let earth bear [forth] living creatures within their kinds, beasts and creeping creatures and the beasts of earth, within their kinds. 25 And God made the beasts of earth within thir kinds, and the animals within their kinds and all creatures that creep on earth within their kinds. And God saw that that was [Q: is] good.
26 Ar eque Eru: “Alve care Atan emmalvasse, cantalvasse, ar turuvas earo lingwi ar menelo aiwi ar i lamni ar i quanda cemen ar ilye hlicila onnar i hlicir cemende.” 27 Ar Eru ontane Atan emmaryasse, mi Eruo emma ontanes hé, hanwa ar inya ontanes tú. 28 Ar Eru aistane tu, ar Eru quente túna: “Yava ar ola rimbe, ar quata cemen ar ása panya nu le, ar tura earo ingwi ar menelo aiwi ar ilya coirea onna ye hlice cemende.” 29 Ar eque Eru: “Yé, ánien lent ilya olva carila erdi i ea i quanda cemeno palúresse, ar ilya alda yavila yáve yasse erderya ea.

26 And God said: “Let us make Man in our image, in our form, and he will rule the fishes of the sea and the birds of the heavens and the entire earth and all creeping things that creep on earth.” 27 And God created Man in his image, in God's image he created him, male and female he created them [dual]. 28 And God blessed them, and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become numerous, and fill earth and subdue it [lit. put it under you], and rule over the fishes of the sea and the birds of heaven and every living creature that creeps on earth.” 29 And God said: “Behold, I have given you [dual] every green plant making seeds that is on the surface of the entire earth, and every tree bearing fruit in which its seed is. For you it will be food. 30 And to every beast of earth, and to every bird of heaven, and to every creature that creeps on earth, to those that have life in themselves, I have given every green plant as food.” And it was so.

31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And [there] was evening, and [there] was morning, the sixth day.

CHAPTER 2

Thus heaven and earth and all their army were completed. 2 And on the seventh day God completed his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he did. 3 And God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, for on it God rested from all his work that he had created and he had made.

4 This is the story about heaven and hearth when they were being created, on the day when the Lórd God made heaven and earth.

5 Still [there] was not a single herb of the ground on earth, and a single plant still had not sprouted, for the Lórd God had not caused rain to fall upon earth, and [there] was not [any] man to work on the soil. 6 But a mist arose from earth, and it gave water to the whole surface of earth. 7 And the Lórd God made the Man with dust from the earth and breathed the breath of life into his nose, and the Man became a living being.
8 Ar i Héru Eru empanne tarwa mi Éren, Rómenna, ar tasse panyanes i Atan ye carnelyanes. 9 Ar i Héru Eru tyarne tuita cemello ilya alda i ná vanima nemestesse ar mára matien sello, ar yú i alda coiviéva i tarwa-endesse, ar i alda istyo máriéva ar ulcuva.

Ar i cantea síre Perat ná.
8 And the Lórd God planted a garden in Eden, towards [the] East, and there he placed the Man that he had made. 9 And the Lórd God caused to sprout from earth every tree that is beautiful in appearence and good for eating from it, and also the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

10 [There] was a river that went out of Eden to give water to the garden, and from there it was being split into four streams. 11 The name of the first one is Pishon; it is the river surrounding the entire land of Havilah, in which [there] is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good. There are also fragrant gum and onyx. 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon; it is the river surrounding the entire land [of] Kush. 14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel; it is [the one] that runs to the east of Asshur. And the fourth river is Perath [= the Euphrates].
15 Ar i Héru Eru nampe i Atan ar panyane se Éreno tarwasse hepien sa ar tirien sa. 16 Ar i Héru Eru canne i Atanen, quétala: “Ilya aldallo i tarwasse lertal mate. 17 Mal i aldallo istyo máriéva ar ulcuva áva mate, an mí ré yasse matil sallo, tancave qualuval.”

18 Ar eque i Héru Eru: “Ua mára in i Atan erinqua ná. Caruvan sen manyala quén ve isse.”

19 I Héru Eru carne ho cemen ilye lamni palúreo ar ilye aiwi menelo, ar tulyanes te i Atanna cenien mana estumneset: Ya i Atan estane ilya cuina onna, sá nauvane esserya. 20 Ar i Atan estane ilye lamni ar i aiwi menelo ar ilye hravani celvar, mal Atanen uas hirne manyala quén ve isse.
15 And the Lórd God took the Man and put him in the garden of Eden to keep [or, maintain/cultivate] it and to guard it. 16 And the Lórd God commanded the Man, saying: “From every tree in the garden you may eat. 17 But from the tree of knowledge of good and evil do not eat, for in the day that you eat from it, you will certainly die.”

18 And the Lórd God said: “It is not good that the Man is alone. I will make for him a helping person like himself.”

19 The Lórd God made from earth all the animals of earth's surface [palúre] and all birds of heaven, and he led them to the Man to see what he was going to call them. What the Man called every living creature, that was going to be its name. 20 And the Man named all beasts and the birds of heaven and all wild animals, but for Man he did not find a helping person like himself.

25 Anette helde, i Atan yo verirya, mal únette nucumne.
21 Then the Lórd God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the Man, and while he was asleep, he took one of the bones of his chest and filled [the gap] with flesh. 22 And the Lórd God formed the bone that he took from the Man's chest into a woman, and he brought her to the Man. 23 Then the Man said: “This time it is bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh! This one shall be called Woman, for from Man she was taken.”

24 Therefore a man will go away from his father and from his mother and will stick to his wife, and they shall be one flesh.

25 They were naked, the man and his wife, but they were not ashamed [lit. humiliated].

CHAPTER 3

But the serpent was more cunning than all other beasts made by the Lórd God, and it said to the woman: “Surely God has not said that you [dual] may not eat from every tree in the garden?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent: “Of the fruit of the trees in the garden we may eat. 3 But concerning the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said: Do not eat from it and do not touch it, or you shall die.” 4 But the serpent said to the woman: “By no means will you die. 5 For God knows that on the day that you eat from it, your eyes will be opened, and you will become like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 And the woman saw that the tree was good as concerns eating from it and pleasing to the eyes; indeed the tree was desirable, giving knowledge. Then she took of its fruit and ate, and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.

7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they fastened together some leaves of fig and made for themselves cloaks. 8 And they heard the Lórd God's voice while he walked in the garden in the windy part of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the Lórd God among the trees in the garden. 9 And the Lórd God cried to the Man and said to him: “Where are you?” 10 And he said: “Your voice I heard in the garden, and I was scared, since I am naked.” 11 And he said: “Who told you that you are naked? Have you eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, Do not eat from it – ?” 12 And the Man said: “The woman that you gave to dwell with me, she gave me [fruit] from the tree, and I ate.” 13 And the Lórd God said to the woman: “What is this you have done?” And the woman said: “The serpent induced me, and I ate.”
14 Ar i Héru Eru quente i leucanna: “Pan si acáriel, elye nauva húna lá ilye coacelvar ar ilye hravani. Cumbalyasse menuval, ar asto matuval ter ilye rí coivielyo. 15 Ar panyuvan cotie imbe lye ar i nís, ar imbe erdelya ar erderya. Isse racuva carelya, ar elye racuva *taltellerya.”

14 And the Lórd God said to the serpent: “Since you have done this, you shall be accursed more than all domestic animals and all beasts. On your stomach you will go, and dust you will eat through all the days of your life. 15 And I shall put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. It shall crush your head, and you shall crush his heel.”

16 To the woman he said: “Much pain I add when you are with child; in pain you shall bear children. Your longing shall be to your husband, and he will rule you.”

17 And to Adam he said: “Since you have listened to your wife's voice and eaten from the tree of which I commanded you: Do not eat from it, earth shall be cursed by reason of you. In pain you shall get your food from it throgh all the days of your life. 18 And thorns and thistles will it bear to you, and you will eat the plants of the field. 19 In the sweat [*helmanier = skin-tears] of your face you will eat your bread, until you will return to the earth, for from it you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you will return.”

20 And Adam gave his wife the name Eve (Life), for she was to become the mother of all life. 21 But the Lórd God made for them cloaks of skin and covered them. 22 And the Lórd said: “Behold, man has become like one among us, knowing good and evil. And now, to stop him from reaching out with his hand and from taking also from the Tree of Life and from living forever –” 23 Thus the Lórd God sent him away from the garden of Eden to work on the earth from which he was taken. 24 He drove the Man outside, and to the east of Eden he put the cherubs and the burning sword that turns itself hither and thither, to protect the way to the Tree of Life.
